The Kingston Ponies management has announced its coaching staff for the upcoming senior baseball season.

Ross Graham becomes a playing coach and will be assisted by Tom Langford from Port Hope. Randy Casford, who guided the Ponies last year, resigned as field manager at the end of the season.

The Ponies are set to begin indoor workouts on March 24 at Belleville Pitch and Hit facility. Outdoor workouts at Megaffin Park will begin once the city opens sports fields for activity.

Graham said the playing roster won’t be finalized until the team has had some outdoor workouts.

Langford, who is a teacher at Trinity College in Port Hope, won’t be available for the team’s games and practices until the end of May.

The Ponies are not expecting to begin their National Capital Baseball League Tier 1 season until after Victoria Day (May 21). Besides playing a 24-game NCBL schedule, the Ponies will again be returning to play at the Ontario Baseball Association senior eliminations, which are in Windsor, Aug. 3-6.
